Services

UX Design

UX Design is more than aesthetics, it's also about how something works and how a user interacts with a website. Functionality has the potential to translate into powerful customer experiences.

The design process begins with interpreting your vision – I then start the process by putting together a wire frame map of how the new website will function. Next, I work up a design, color scheme and mock-up the website to reflect your product or service offerings to potential customers.

Development

I specialize in developing a responsive system that works for you across all devices offering visitors a seamless experience.

Looks are important and so is code. Google sees a website from the level of the content AND the code. Google bases ranking on the page “load time”, the way the site was built, and how it is served across multiple devices. I also understand what it takes to create a website that runs smoothly and efficiently in the eyes of Google.

Search Engine Optimization

During the site build I incorporate SEO strategies that will help your site be recogized by serach engines. There are some very basic tasks that need attention during this process, and sometimes this alone can result in a sufficient ranking on Google, Bing and other popular search engines.

If you want to take SEO further, rest assuerd that your site is ready with the tools you need for an SEO specialist to jump in and integrate their expertise to your site.

Maintenance & Security

Maintenance is an important part of keeping a website functioning and secure. In addition to employing the latest tools to keep hackers at bay, I also offer a monthly site check to upgrade software, plugins & components, thereby eliminating common vulnerabilities and access points.

I am easy to reach and offer ongoing support for the websites I build.
